I just don't like Skyrim's mechanics, I think the level up by use approach is inherently inferior to level up by general XP. You can create way more unique characters, and have more control over your progress with a level-up system, than with a level by use system. Also, with this dumbed down mechanics, gameplay wise, there's no difference between the races (I mean 5 skill ranks, come on, that's completely irrelevant). |
The "level up by doing" approach is fine and usable, however it needs the Major and Minor skills system that was in Morrowind and Oblivion for it to completely work. In Skyrim, you basically cannot do anything outside of what you actually want to level as otherwise your character level would be high (and therefore tougher enemies), but you will most likely be very weak. You really have to specialise from the very start of the game.
I'm afraid to go into smithing/enchanting as I'm already slightly out levelled as it is from doing some healing spells (restoration) and making a few potions (alchemy) - I'm playing as an archer/thief.

I too have decided after leveling 2 characters (pure mage and dual wield heavy warrrior) that the game is probably best enjoyed on an easier difficulty setting but just doing whatever the fuck you feel is appropriate for the character. Something about the leveling system just makes the min/maxing needed to do very well on master / expert feel really cheesy.

it was just an encryption patch wasn't it? i doubt release groups are going to do the work to crack that again, they'll probably just release the updated crack when the first big patch comes i'd bet.

I just found out i can number my "Favorite" items! 
Press Q, hover mouse over your sword, press 1. now do the same with fireball, press 2, find your shield, press 3.
Now exit that, press 1 sword gets equipped, press 2 you equip fireball, press 3 equip shield.
I had no idea I could do this  it's why i didn't play as a mage!

Non faction quests == awesome.
Faction quests and storyline == poop.
Like seriously. 1 real quest in and I go from [shit noob tier I don't see how you're in] to [oh savior of the guild let me suck your cock] and 2-3 more later and I'm now guildmaster.
Radiant quest == we were too lazy to come up with actual faction quests so um

agreed. it feels like they tried to make those quest lines into 'bite sized' bits that you can sit down and do in one session almost. everything seems to go so fast and that its over before it really started.
'can i join your guild?'
'i dunno man, i dont like the look of you'
'come on dude lemme in'
'ok you now have the respect and admiration of everyone here, friend'
'awesome, hey, heres that thing you were looking for. forgot to give it to you last time i was visiting...found it in some cave the other day'
'cool. hey since you did me a favour im going to hand the guild over to you. you seem pretty capable of running it. all hail the guild master! *hail*''

hey am i understanding this right.... theres a dragon shout that adds speed to your weapon attacks...
but when i use it, it says my weapon is already enchanted. does this DRAGON SHOUT only work on unenchanted weapons?! doesnt that make it insanely useless? i mean its a dragon shout, shouldnt it be an addition to any lowly enchantment a weapon has?
its like a temporary super defence boost that only works if you arent wearing armor.

AI too though, hopefully the AI gets patched to handle sneaking better though when/if it's ever patched.
